When We Left Eden (A Poem By Outa_Spaceman Being: 52...)


When we left Eden,

We left behind:
The swing on the sycamore branch,
The overgrown greenhouse,
Rusted iron gates,
The box hedges,
Yesterday's bleak prospect,
The smell of surgical spirit,
The glass marbles under the rusty wheel barrow
A dead crow hung in a tree,
A key on a nail,
An abandoned well,
An abandoned wendy house,
Shadows across the path,
The broken filter bed,
The lost faith,
The pet's graveyard,
The hum of the electrical substation,
The cupboard under the stairs,
The coal house,
The pump house,
A Halo of flies,
A concrete yard,
Imaginary friends,
And the quite peace of summer...

It's not about how you hang on.

It's about how you let go....
